Revelation
Revelation is God's disclosure of Himself and His will to His creatures. It is something that is revealed that was not realized before. God desires to revelate himself to us everyday. As we seek him earnestly and with the whole heart, he begins to open our eyes and ears to what the spirit is saying. Deuteronomy 4:29 says,"If thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul." We lack understanding of who we are because we have little revelation of who he is. The intimate love relationship with God will help us receive all that he has desired to release since the beginning of time. It is essential that we receive the Holy spirit, after giving our lives to Christ. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, and revelator. He will reveal what is the will of God, what direction to take, bring the word back to our remembrance and comfort us. He is the Spirit of Truth. John 16: 13 says,"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." We abandon our own translations of what we believe to be true, and lean not to our own understanding but acknowledge God in all our ways that he may direct our path. (Prov. 3:5-7). We obtain revelation, through the persistence of seeking him and his wisdom. Proverbs 2:2 says," Incline thine ear unto wisdom, an apply thine heart to understanding." It goes on to talk about if you seek wisdom as silver, and search for her as hidden treasures, then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. James 1:5 tells us that," If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth (reprove, or blameth) not and it shall be given him."
God is revealed by word and Spirit. Matthew 4:4 says,"Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."(Duet. 8:3) We find substance in seeking, waiting, hearing, and gaining revelation from God. In him we live, we breathe, and have our being.(Acts 17:28) We learn to live off the very words of God. We have to become desperate for God. Our lives have to depend on encounters and interventions with him. We have to crave hearing from him. Without desperation we get satisfied with our present state or status and become our own worst enemy. Without revelation of what God intends, we can't move in overcoming faith , because we don't have any hope. It is impossible to have faith without hope. We must believe that God is always with us and will never leave us or forsake us. Deut.31:6 says,"Be strong and of a good courage,fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." We must be confident that God will speak to us. He will reveal what his will is for our lives as we focus more on him than the situation at hand. We must maintain a desperation and hunger for God that can never be satisfied. We must be absolute in devotion and uncompromising in purpose. So take the time to wait on the Lord, don't fear, hear what the spirit is saying, and let him reveal himself to you. Amen.
